She’s ready for the public to know the “real” Meghan Markle.
“People should expect the real me in this, and probably the me that they’ve never gotten to know — certainly not in the past few years, where everything is through the lens of the media as opposed to, ‘Hey, it’s me,’” the ex-royal said in a promo for her new “Archetypes” podcast, which premiered Tuesday.
“I’m just excited to be myself and talk and be unfiltered and…yeah, it’s fun,” she continued.
The show’s debut episode found Markle, 41, chatting with longtime friend and tennis champ Serena Williams about double standards between men and women when it comes to being ambitious.
“I don’t remember ever personally feeling the negative connotation behind the word ‘ambitious’ until I started dating my now-husband,” Markle told listeners in reference to husband Prince Harry.
“Apparently ambition is a terrible, terrible thing, for a woman. That is, according to some,” she continued. “Since I’ve felt the negativity behind it, it’s [been] really hard to un-feel it.”
She also revealed that her 3-year-old son Archie’s nursery caught fire when he was just four month’s old. Fortunately, he was not in the room at the time, as the couple’s “amazing nanny” Lauren had taken him downstairs to get a snack.
Someone “happened to smell the smoke down the hallway” and extinguished the flames, as there was “no smoke detector” in the room.
“He was supposed to be sleeping in there,” Markle told Williams, 40. “Of course, as a mother, you go, ‘Oh, my God.’ Everyone’s in tears, everyone’s shaken.”
